If your so-called…See More

Leash training: how I stopped the lagging Corgi syndrome

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 1:52pm 0 Comments 1 Like

I joked about a kevlar vest for the Corgi to keep him clean in Susan D's thread but there REALLY IS a kevlar vests option for Corgis, looks like they make them to measurements!!!
